But new Hull head coach Marco Silva was in no mood to bask in the glory.

Hull hit back from a wretched start, having conceded an early penalty which was converted by Junior Stanislas.

Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings’ own-goal after the break gave Hull a two-goal cushion and, in Silva’s first league game in charge, they won for the first time in 10 top-flight matches to climb off the foot of the table.

Former Sporting Lisbon and Olympiacos boss Silva was already looking forward to another busy week on the training field and in the transfer market.

“I’m happy, but we have a lot of work to do in the next few weeks,” he said.

“We’ll try to find solutions for our squad because we need to improve.

I’m happy because we need to win games and it was my first game in the Premier League.

“In one week we’ve played three games and we’ve won two – it’s fantastic because in the last two months we didn’t win one game.

“I believe in our team and our quality. The players are happy. They are starting to believe and understand better what I want for the team.”

Silva was careful not to single out two-goal hero Hernandez for praise after the Uruguay ace scored his third goal in as many appearances since returning from a two-month lay-off due to a hernia injury.

“First of all it’s a good day for the team and a good day for our fans,” Silva added.

“There was a fantastic atmosphere in our stadium, fantastic support. This is very important for us.

“I said to the press in pre-match that we need the fans, we need the atmosphere here because we are stronger with them.

“About Hernandez – it’s really important for a striker when they score goals.

“In the last two games at home Hernandez has scored three goals and that's important for the team and for him also. His second goal was a very good goal.”

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe was disappointed his side failed to capitalise on their flying start after Hull defender Harry Maguire had bundled over Ryan Fraser in the area and Stanislas buried the third-minute spot-kick.

The Cherries had dominated most of the first half but Hernandez headed home Andrew Robertson’s inviting cross at the far post in the 32nd minute to spark the comeback.

“We were dominant for the first half-hour – it was the perfect start for us. We were in control,” Howe said.

“I just felt we didn’t really go for the throat. I felt we were content with one goal and the flow of the game changed when they equalised.”
